Eco: Ecology / Environment Soma: Body
Eco Soma is the meeting place between body and environment. It is our fingerprint beneath the bark, tree's breath in our lungs,
sun's heat in our liver and river flow in our bone marrow.
There are endless symbiotic relations between the human body and nature. Ecosomatics explores these through moving and sensing the inner landscapes of human body and earth body. As an ongoing researcher of Earth Body/Human Body relations, I map nature patterns and systems with Body-Mind Centering® practice as a way to bridge and reinvigorate humans in right relationship to nature through embodied physical connection. Felt-sense biophilia intrinsically deepens relations between not only human to nature but human to human, crucial to the wellbeing of all eco systems.
ECO SOMA™ PROGRAMS
“Have you ever spent 5 days solo, naked in the desert without shelter, minimal food/water and no people, phone or wifi reception? I have. This is most definitely my happy place. I never wanted to leave. I conversed, prayed, sang, cried and danced with Spirit. I slept on the earth and communed with her for hours and nights and days. It was only just enough time to start really hearing and to drop into the depth of relating that I yearn for. To retrace the somatic pathways that remind me I am a child of the universe. It takes time, and spaciousness to receive the guidance that nature, spirit, country can offer us when we meet her in sacred presence and open to listening.”
